Waiting For the Sky to Fall

Its safe to say Dolphins fans have the psyche of a plumber whos had one too many toilets explode in his face. This season, the team is a legit contender for not only a playoff spot, but also the AFC East title. Midway into the season, the Fins are 4-4. This is huge since Miami hasnt been at or above .500 since 2003. Thats five years of our lives dipped into the shallow cesspools of mediocrity. If the Dolphins finish 10-6 or better, fans wont know what to do with themselves. It helps that Miami has a fairly easy home schedule, including todays match-up against the rather dysfunctional Oakland Raiders at Dolphin Stadium (2269 Dan Marino Blvd., Miami Gardens).

No longer must you feel shame for watching and supporting this team again. You can even have high expectations  theyre the Dolphins, damn it! Now go clean that shit off your face and go cheer for your boys! Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. Tickets range from $41 to $700 and can be purchased at miamidolphins.com. Sun., Nov. 16, 2008
